Just had a jungler sit top all game with his duo.

So, I just played a lovely game, where a jungler was sitting top all game, with his duo who was playing Kayle.

They kept re-assuring everyone that they were going to win it, but didn't try to come out and help any of the other lanes once. We had ONE bad engage early game and ended up losing to a Brand/Vayne snow-ball.

What am I meant to do to win the game, if I'm playing support and these two are refusing to do anythin other than farm and sit in one lane all game? I can play safe, but I'm the support, I have to follow up with my ADC, who kept going in while stacking Doran's blades.

I look at their match history and they have straight defeats the past 5 - 10 games.

At that point you only have a few options. You can try to push out your lane and roam mid with your ADC to try to pick up kills or you can try to trust your ADC to last hit under tower the best he can while you gank mid alone. If it is really bad you can just give up the lane and then it is easier for your ADC to freeze it and farm while you try to help mid. Eventually bot will roam mid also, so you want to hope you picked up something before this so your mid is a little strong to balance out the ADC that is a little weak. If the ADC does this right he will gain levels on the enemy bot lane with you ganking mid even if he doesn't get as much gold, so it balances it out a bit.

Thr34t gave all the really good advice, so I just have a question:

If your top was Kayle then I can only assume your jungle was...Master Yi/Jax/Kindred/some other attack-speed diver heavy carry, correct?

If so, then you should know this is a legitimate strategy (yes, created in Korea big surprise) that has been gaining more and more popularity in western servers. It's really not as troll as you think. It's quite a cancerous strategy that Dyrus's the enemy top laner over and over again where the Jg get's extremely fed and the Kayle falls back as essentially another support.

It's cancer, but it works.
